Completely ignored by some, used by others as the sole source of comic culture: webtoons have been shaking up the comic market for quite some time. What opportunities, risks and creative possibilities does the digital medium offer comic creators; and how does the vast array of stories available affect reading habits and the sale of printed books? A discussion with representatives from the scene about the current state of affairs, their experiences and predictions for the future.
